"Inmates of the penitenliary havo

"Give rue t sample?" replied the Ob
server. "The other day two of the men were
talking over pinna for the future after
their rt-ppeel ie termi had eipired. One
of tbtm exclaimed : 'When I get out of
here I iutrud to goto far away that it
will take $9 to aeod a poatal card to
reach me.'
" 'And how do you 'spett to get dere
youaelf?' inquired a oolored man, who
knew that finance! were not flush among
the inmatea of the big prison. The con
versation ceased at that point, for the
negro had plumped out a poser."

KINO WORDS
Kiud thoughts are the roots from
which spring kind words aod kiud dtet's
We uiuil cultivate the roots if we would
have the blossom aod the fruitage ''The
practice of kind thoughts," wrote Faber,
"is a fountain of joy in our souls which
rarely intermits its flowing. Abovo all
things it is our main help to that complete
government of the tongue which we all
so much eovat. The inteiior beauty of
a soul through habitual kindness of
thought is more than our words can tell.
To suoh life is I perpeptual bright even
ing with all things calm and fragrant
and restful. The dust of life is laid and
its fever cooled. All sounds and all
sights are fairer, and the golden light
makea our enjoyment of earth a happily
pensive preparation for heaven."

ft MIXED RECIPE.
A fashionable young lady visited a
cooking school the other afternoon, where
her attention was equally divided be
tween a new dress worn by an acquaint
ance and the directions for makiog a
cake. Upon returning hoaae she under
took to write down the recipe for making
the cake for bar mother, and the old
lady was paralyzed when she read the
following
"Take two pounds of flour, three rows
of plaiting down the front, the whites of
two eggs cut bias, a pint of milk ruffled
round the neck, halt pound ourrants,
with seven yards of bead trimming,
grated lemon peel with Spanish lace
fichu; stir well, aud add a semi-fitting
paletot with visile sleeves; butter the p? p.
with Brati'iao topal necklace, and gar
nish with iciog and passementarie. Bake
in a moderately hot oven until the skirt is
lucked from the waist down on either
side, and finish with large satin rosettes."
Her mother said she wouldn't eat such
a cake, and she thought these new
fangled ideas la cooking ought to be
frowned down. Michigan Badger.
BRING THE ENDS TOGETHER.
A certain oulonel somewhere in the
South (no matter where) was in the habit
of telling yarns and greatly exaggerating.
He had a negro servant who corrobora
ted everything his nutter told. One day
the Colonel had some gentlemen to dinner,
aod they were enjoying some fine venison
very much. The Colonel said: "Yet,
I went hunting the other day and
saw fine buck. I took a good sight at
him and shot him through the head, and
the bullet went through bis hind leg."
The gentlemen looked at eaah a little
mystified. The negro scratched hit head
sod at last said: "Yes, indeed, gemmen,
just as masia raised the gun to shoot dt
buok he raited his hind leg and scratch
hit tar, and the bullet went through the
head and right through de hind leg."
The gentlemen looked more satisfied.
After the guests had left the negro laid
to his ajasier : "Qorry mighty, mama,
next time you tell one of dem yarns do
go( the ends clotter togedder. I had
bard work to make both ends meet."
New Orleaot Times-Democrat.
WHY HE WAS REJECTED.
The soul of a rajah who had been re
leased from the cares of this world and
an uncongenial wife presented himself at
the gates of paradise.
"Have you been in purgatory jel?"
demanded Brahma.
"No, but I have been marrii-d "
"Enter then, It is the tam thing."
At this moment another soul arrived,
who begged Braliiua to allow him also
to enter.
"Softly, softly. Have y. u been in
purgstory yet?"
"No, but neither has that other lellow.
He died tbt same day 1 did."
"Very true, but he bad been married."
"Married, indeed ! Why, I have been
married three times."
"Away, then, to the lower regions I"
said Brahma sternly. "Paradise is not
made fof iffibeci!t5 "
AN EVENING VISION.
The evening camp fire burns low; one
by one the brands have dissolved into
coals, aud one hy one the little circle hat
retired into the cabins and gone to sleep.
I take from the pile of the skeleton of a
dead pine one of its huge resioout booet
and oast it on the coals. The surround
ing trees have all retired into the silent
darkness to repnat from the toils of tbt
stormy day now with itt wrestling winds
also gone into the darkness of tht past.
Immediately the yellow flamet shoot up
high, tad the trees ttep out of the dark
ness on silent feet, with a lurprited ex
pression at if to lay, aa thty look down
upon me. "Why, wt did not txpeot you
to oall for ut again." And then they
tttnd wailing, with the stars glittering in
their tangled hair.

The treatment of Catarrh with antiseptic nnd
astringent washes, lotions, salves, medicated tobacco
and cigarettes or any external or local application, is
just as senseless as would be kindling a fire on top of
the pot to make it boil. True, these give temporary
relief, but the cavities and passages of the head and the
bronchial tubes soon fill up again with mucus.
Taking cold is the first step towards Catarrh, for it
checks perspiration, and the poisonous acids and

much of which is absorbed into the blood, and through the circulation
reaches every part of the system, involving the Stomach, Kidneys and other
parts of the body. When the disease assumes the dry form, the breath
becomes exceedingly foul, blinding headaches are frequent, the eyes red,
hearing affected and a constant ringing in the ears. No remedy that does
not reach the polluted blood can cure Catarrh. S. S. S. expels from the
circulation all onensive matter, and when rich, pure
blood is again coursing through the body the
mucous membranes become healthy and the skin
active, all the disagreeable, painful symptoms disap
pear, and a permanent, thorough cure is effected.
S. S. S. being a strictly vegetable blood purifier does not derange the
Stomach, and digestion, but the appetite and general health rapidly improve
